I conceived the third story, which was a reference to traditional martial arts films, where two warriors meet and fight, with one of them eventually winning. The rhythm of the fight between the two characters can be expressed by the distance between the characters and their movements, and when they get closer to each other the rhythm will be faster. It was interesting to see how the characters moved in the subplot.
Moodboard of three ideas：
- 1. The first story takes place in the ruins of an ancient Egyptian castle, with a predominantly yellow colour scheme, a combination of desert and ancient architecture, and a scene with many stone temples and triangular structures.
- This is the video of model, the scene with tall pillars and the idols in front of them, the symmetrical structure of the temple will make the scene look more solemn.
- 2.The second story is a mysterious ancient Chinese temple. I did some research on the Nuo masks in western Hunan, where there is a tradition of touring the gods during the New Year, Nuo masks are masks that symbolise the gods and are worn by people during the New Year to dance and pray for all to go well in the new year, with different masks representing different gods.

- 3. The third scene takes place in a more modern martial arts film, where chivalrous men in a modern metropolis compete in a martial arts tournament.
- This story focuses on the action of the fight and this is a reference to some of the action design.On the right is a reference to the scene, and on the left are some storyboard.
